Rapper and producer Tablo recently updated fans with recent photos of his daughter Haru. Fans might also remember when the adorable Haru prepared a meal for her father several months ago.

On September 29, Tablo tweeted photos of his daughter wearing a straw hat and spiffy tennis shoes along with comfy yellow pants and a black sweater.

In one of the photos, Haru shyly clutches on to her red backpack while letting her dad take the photo. The two appear to be enjoying a father-daughter outing together on a sunny afternoon. Fans were especially surprised at how much Haru had grown to resemble her father.

Netizens commented, “Wow, Haru looks just like her daddy!”, “Wow, she’s so adorable!” and “She must be happy to be spending time with her dad!”

Tablo married actress Kang Hye Jung back in 2009; the couple had their first child, Haru, on May 2, 2010.

Xia took to the Big Top stage in Sydney last night to the hysterical screams of his Australian fans. The recognisable thundering drums that begin Tarantallegra sounded and Xia appeared sitting on his throne, looking absolutely incredible.The crowd waved their red light sticks throughout the whole concert, while Xia managed to dance like crazy and sing his lungs out without missing a single beat. The set list ranged from his Pop songs to Ballads, from his first album ‘Tarantallegra’ to his latest album ‘Incredible’, including ‘No Gain’, ‘Turn It Up’, ’11am’ and ‘Chocolate Girl’.Xia talked to his audience throughout the concert, with the help of a translator. During the ‘Xia Wish Granting Session’, at the request of audience members, he performed a (very) sexy dance and a super cute Gwiyomi! Xia had very little choice but to perform the Gwiyomi Dance, after the crowd just kept chanted “Gwiyomi, Gwiyomi, Gwiyomi!!”. Laughing and embarrassed, Xia shouted to the crowd- “You ask a 28 year old man to do this?? To my male fans, please close your eyes!”Xia dedicated the final song, the title ’Incredible’, to all the fans. The crowd danced and swayed their arms with Xia singing “Oooo Oooo Ooo Ooo – you’ve got me screaming! Oooo Oooo Ooo Ooo – you’ve got me singing! Oooo Oooo Ooo Ooo – you’re something something! Oooo Oooo Ooo Ooo – INCREDIBLE!”The crowd then chanted “KIM JUNSU, KIM JUNSU, KIM JUNSU” until Xia reappeared on the stage to perform a final encore stage- a super energetic ‘Fever’ which left him (and the crowd) completely breathless.

On September 27, the stylish girls of 2NE1 attended Vogue's 'Fashion Night Out' event in Seoul. It must have been hard not to notice the girls as they made their appearance and even harder to tear your eyes away! Many Korean news sources quickly gathered around the girls to take a ton of pictures.Park Bom looked cute and pretty with her usual long hair and bangs. Her one-piece was simple yet unique with its colorful pattern. Minzy also boasted a very colorful blazer with a mesmerizing orange, pink, and black pattern. To make sure her blazer stood out but her outfit wasn't too overwhelming, Minzy showed a good sense of fashion by choosing black for the rest of her apparel.CL looked charismatic as usual with her dark black hair. Most notably, she was wearing bright red leather pants with a matching jacket casually placed around her shoulders. The black under shirt exposed enough of her skin so that she looked both sexy and classy overall.Perhaps most notable, however, was Dara sporting a new and attention-grabbing hairstyle! Her hair had been dyed mostly blonde with some bright, bubble gum pink highlights. She was also wearing a furry yellow vest with black stripes that bees would undoubtedly envy as it looked incredibly warm--perfect for the chilly fall weather!

YG Entertainment has taken legal action against the perpetrators behind the malicious rumors and comments about the agency and its artists, and now one of the perpetrators, a Mr. Kim, has been caught.

YG Entertainment stated, "Whenever articles would get released concerning the agency and its artists, malicious comments would interfere with our business and cause emotional distress so we filed a complaint to request an investigation this past July. The Mapo Police Station traced the IP address and through persistent tracing, Mr. Kim was caught. Mr. Kim confessed to his crimes.

"Mr. Kim was so obtrusive with his malicious rumors that even the agency staff and fans knew his name. The uncountable amount of malicious comments continued repetitively, and become more malicious with time, causing harm to YGE and its artists."

"When the level of damage became serious, in order to protect the agency, our artists and representatives, we filed with the police. The Mapo Police Station working on this case managed to receive a confession from the suspect after two months of investigation."

Mr. Kim wrote in his letter of apology, "When I first began to write malicious comments a few years ago, I was receiving a lot of stress from personal issues so I wrote negative comments to relieve my anger. It became an addiction like drinking and smoking and I became addicted to writing those comments. I send my apology and I promise that I won't do it again."
The agency also revealed that despite having been lenient for a while to these malicious comments as the perpetrators are usually teens, they will now be taking a more aggressive stance on the matter and respond with legal action.

G-Dragon, who's been receiving more and more recognition as an artist, has been invited to perform at a series of large-scale concerts in China.The Big Bang member was invited to make a special appearance at Jackie Chan's charity concert in honor of his 100th film appearance held at Huanglong Stadium, Hangzhou, China on the 30th.
